    Wheelie references them in the movie when they are trying to find someone old enough to read the glyphs , now Jetfire isn't traditionally one of the Seekers we all know and love/ hate. Who do you think will fill these other characters in and do they potentially have a purpose for TF3? There's a B-29 Bomber(Powerglide??), looks like an old Ford (Kup maybe?) and a few others I can't recall (was there a tank? Warparth maybe?). Thoughts specultion, etc?

    well, i wonder how many are Decepticons-but id guess Kup and Lugnut, not Powerglide. but hey, never know!

    also, i think that in the book Ransack was a Seeker...

    B-24 got it[​IMG] That would make a great Lugnut figure, these guys obviously didn't unanimously go offline either Jetfire's mode is border line modern and some are really dated looking, I really hopenthey go into these guy's pasts more maybe in the comic sequels or at least flesh it out on the screen.

    To me...

    Train = Astrotrain
    Liberator bomber = Lugnut
    Ford Model T = Kup

    Astrotrain would not be a bad name for a seeker.

    Im so glad its a train, i couldn tell for sure so me and my brother just decided it was and its astrotrain :) 

    We like to think, that he and the rest may not be as old as jetfire because they may have foun a bit of energon to keep them going or maybe jetfire was already really old back in the day an astrotrain was a rookie :)  so he can still be young an not a nutcase like jetfire

    Ransack, Kup, Astrotrain, Powerglide and Skyfire (I know he's Jetfire, but you never know).

    I wish they had all been Jets then it could have had the potential for Superion making an appearance. I think the movies are better off without combiners after the whole Devastator debacle, we don't need something bigger every time to fight, just a good story and plot.
